Greeting the Diminishing Storm
Greeting the Diminishing Storm
A floral fan floods the palate. Electric at first, a nip of macho chilli on the tip of the tongue, which then rhythmically softens its imprudencen all the while building up notes of velvety caramel. A burnt plain fading into the sunset.

Four Souls Bound by a Tendril of Smoke
Mezcals An absolute treasure. Soft on the nose, this ensemble of Coyote, Tobalá, Cuishe and Tepeztate hides its secrets well. But then you sip graceful dry wood smoke, barley and rye. A healthy tang of marinaded red bell peppers opens up the senses to this incomparable dram.

Old Family’s Seasoned Stew Pot
Mezcals Smells like a humid jungle after the rain. This wildest of agaves from a fifth generation master comes on strong with herbal tones and a deep lasting flavour like a simmering home cooked beef broth, lightened up by a touch of rosemary.

Amazon’s Nightcap
Mezcals On the nose this is light, floral, perfumed but the flavours are lively and flirt between a sweet refreshing thyme joy and a soft bitterness. Pepper is left to crackle in a slightly hoppy aftermath. Newly dried bird’s beak chillies carry strength throughout this Tepeztate.
